Keying Into Better Vending Machine Choices

Standard

Sometimes you just have one of those days where you forget to bring enough snacks for the day or something comes up where you’re stuck with no options except vending machines. Luckily, we don’t have FEBO in North America and many vending companies have added healthier options to vending machines in response to consumers’ demands.

Here are some top choices when you’re down at the vending machine:

•Baked Chips or Sunchips — these are lower in fat than regular chips, which are fried

•Granola bars — try to choose ones with less sugar
